Chapter six hundred and seventeenth daughter's letter
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Wei Yong's cheerful smile like an old fox, and felt a little weird in his heart. He knew very clearly that this old guy kept pestering him again and again, and he definitely had no good intentions.
Knowing that this old guy's thoughts were far deeper than what everyone saw, Liu Mingzhi braced himself and thought about what to say to Wei Yong.
Wei Yong noticed that more and more officials were paying attention to the two of them, and turned a deaf ear to Young Master Liu and said softly: "Your Majesty, why didn't you support His Majesty's chariot and expedition in person just now? For Your Majesty, this is a big deal.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish the majesty of a king."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and glanced at the officials following him, his eyes dodging several times: "Nine out of ten civil and military colleagues in the entire dynasty are opposed to His Majesty's personal expedition. I am single and weak, so why bother to go through the thankless work with you?
What about being against it?
This Northern Expedition was strongly promoted by His Majesty. Although there was some difference in establishing the majesty of the emperor whether he did it himself or not, the difference was not too big.
As long as the world is unified, His Majesty's majesty will naturally reach its peak among officials and among the people, and everyone in the government and the public will praise His Majesty's merits.
Therefore, it is really not a wise move for me to make a suggestion that makes little difference to antagonize 80% of my colleagues."
"Oh? Is this really what the prince meant?"
"What does Prime Minister Wei mean?"
"It's nothing. Your Majesty, just treat yourself as an official and talk nonsense. But have you ever thought about it, Your Majesty should hope that you will support him in his personal expedition? Your Majesty is the most powerful vassal king in the dynasty!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wei Yong's shining old eyes and narrowed them slightly.
"Your Majesty, what do you hope for? Prime Minister Wei thinks too highly of me. I can't resist 80% of the officials with one man. I don't have the ability."
"Haha... I don't know how high-spirited the prince was in the past when he single-handedly resisted the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and established the matter of His Majesty's ascension to the throne with one word. Now, only 80% of his colleagues are nothing to the prince.
?”
"What exactly does Prime Minister Wei want to say? If he talks about these useless topics, I will leave first."
"It's nothing. I wonder if the prince has thought about how to become an enemy of me?"
Liu Mingzhi paused and stopped suddenly. He gently touched the hilt of the Heavenly Sword with his fingers and stared at Wei Yong coldly for a moment.
"You do not deserve."
After saying these three words, Liu Mingzhi didn't wait for Wei Yong to react, then turned around and rushed towards the palace gate with Tian Jian in his hand.
Young Master Liu walked twenty or thirty steps before Wei Yong came back to his senses, raised his brows, smiled and nodded.
"Whether I am worthy or not is not something you and I can decide."
Wei Yong murmured twice, put his hands in his sleeves and walked towards the palace gate slowly and hunched over.
His expression was calm as usual, and he obviously didn't feel offended by Liu Mingzhi's humiliating words about you not being worthy of it.
"Zhi...Prince!"
Liu Mingzhi took the reins of the horse and was about to get on the horse. Suddenly he heard the voice of his uncle Song Yu. He stopped and turned on the horse and looked towards Song Yu.
Looking at the small groups of officials behind Song Yu, Liu Mingzhi moved his lips slightly toward a certain location and took the lead in leading his horse over.
Song Yu nodded imperceptibly, greeted the officials around him for a while, took the reins from the imperial army and left the palace gate.
"Uncle, I'm here!"
Song Yu heard Liu Mingzhi's voice, looked around the surroundings slightly, and walked towards Liu Mingzhi calmly.
Both of them were wearing official robes, and the styles of the official robes were more noble than the other, causing the people around them to retreat.
Seeing this, the two of them walked slowly towards the civilian alley on the side. They didn't speak until there were few pedestrians.
"Zhi'er, don't take the list of generals for this Northern Expedition seriously. The general trend is the general trend, and no one can do anything about it."
"My uncle is the Minister of War. May I ask who decided on the positions of the generals for this expedition?"
"Your Majesty, there are six ministries, nine ministers, twelve generals, and the generals of Weiwei will discuss on their own."
"Seniority ranking?"
Song Yu frowned and nodded silently: "That's probably the case."
Song Yu's straightforwardness stunned Liu Mingzhi, and he nodded with a wry smile: "No wonder it turned out like this."
"Zhi'er, don't be angry. Marshal Yun and the others are not deliberately suppressing the generals under your command. They are old and will abdicate in a few years.
You and General Qing'ercheng are still young, and they still have a lot to gain from unifying the world on their way to the west, but they are different.
They only have this chance.
Unifying the world is enough for them to pave the way for their descendants. Your world has just begun.
If it was Qing'er, Cheng Kai and the others understood, the whole army would have competed to select generals long ago, so don't worry about it."
"Really? Uncle, do you think the children dare to touch the war merits? Do they do it willingly?"
Song Yu pursed his lips twice and fell silent.
Liu Mingzhi didn't want to see Song Yu speechless and aggrieved, so he could only change the topic.
"Where's my eldest brother?"
"In my own mansion, I heard from my two daughters-in-law that they get drunk every day and pass the time dancing with swords and guns in the martial arts arena. It should be fine after a while. Over time, everything will be figured out.
"
"Isn't my eldest brother forty this year?"
"Nine out of thirty, I will be forty soon."
"Alas... you are forty, uncle. I may not like it, but you are a good official, but you are not a good father, but you are also a good father with good intentions."
"I........"
Liu Mingzhi stopped, looked at Song Yu's dumb look with complex eyes, and sighed helplessly.
"My eldest brother is not on the list of generals. You did it on purpose, right? My eldest brother has been promoted too fast over the years. You are afraid that his situation in the future will be as embarrassing as mine, right?"
The unblockable King of Side by Side.
You can only retreat but not advance.
Commander Zhongwu Wang Yunyang and uncle Wan Mingliang, King of North Vietnam, are all hereditary. In addition, due to their advanced age, the title will soon be hereditary and become the Duke of the country.
Your worries are right. The Duke is the one who can best enjoy the glory, wealth, blessings and descendants, and the position of being a highly respected minister.
King, it’s too big!
Especially Wang with a different surname."
Song Yu looked at Liu Mingzhi's downcast and lonely face, his lips trembling a little: "Child... I..."
"Uncle, I know what you want to say. I know in my heart that you treat me as your own son, otherwise I wouldn't tell you this.
My son plans to take his family to the North on the 20th this month, and he will pay a visit before leaving.
If there’s nothing else to do, I’ll leave first, please go slowly.”
"Child...child, it seems you understand everything!"
"I already knew it, but I just didn't want to say it.
There are some things that children cannot decide, and they can only wait and see what happens.
Resign!"
Song Yu looked at Liu Mingzhi's back as he got on his horse and galloped away. He sighed with trembling lips, turned around and led the horse slowly towards his home.
"Jin Yi, son, I hope you won't end up like your father-in-law, General Jin Yi. My uncle must pull you down!"
"Hush!"
Liu Mingzhi nimbly turned over and dismounted, holding the horse's rein and walking towards the mansion.
"Master, the court is over!"
"Well, you go and inform all the young ladies to wait in the main hall of the inner courtyard. I have something to say to you!"
"Yes, I understand, little one.
By the way, young master, there is a letter from you. I don’t know who came from it. I shot it into the study with the hidden sword and it just said that you should collect it."
Liu Song took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Mingzhi, then took the horse rein from Liu Mingzhi's hand and walked towards the stable in the side yard.
Liu Mingzhi looked through the letter in his hand, opened the wax paint, took out the letter paper and read it.
Let’s first look at the signature on the letter at the end.
Moon.
Liu Mingzhi frowned, looked around, put away the letter and hurried towards the inner courtyard as if nothing had happened.
